MY LAST DAY WITH DUTCH. LATER IN THE EVENING,HE HAD A STEAK DINNER, MMM!

Today I experienced a loss of a beloved companion. The one who so gratefully reminded me when he wanted to walk, eat and just play! Dutch had been part of my life for the last 5+ yrs. Although not my first pet, he was "my" first dog. It seems such a pity that dogs and cats especially, live such short lives in relation to their human caretakers. His favorite walk was a trail above Liberty Lake. When I was living in Eastern WA, he was always eager and spry to run through the forest, but he would always return stubbornly to my side. So happy. I've heard others say, "unconditional" friendship and love can always be found in a dog. And that was true of Dutch. You'll be missed buddy!
